Association of MTHFD1 G1958A (rs2236225) gene polymorphism with the risk of congenital heart disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC medical genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWe did this study to better clarify the correlations of methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 (MTHFD1)-G1958A (rs2236225) gene polymorphism with the risk of congenital heart diseases (CHD) and its subgroups.
methodsRelevant articles were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, VIP database and Wanfang DATA until October 2023. We will use odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to examine the potential associations of MTHFD1- G1958A gene polymorphism with CHD and its subgroups.
resultsWe included a total of 9 eligible studies, encompassing 1917 children with CHD, 1863 healthy children, 1717 mothers of the children with CHD and 1666 mothers of healthy children. In our study, the meta-analysis of fetal group revealed no significant association between any of the five genetic models for the MTHFD1-G1958A polymorphism and the risk of CHD. Subgroup analysis showed that associations between the MTHFD1-G1958A polymorphism and Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) risk in the homozygote model (AA vs. GG, OR = 2.82, 95%CI [1.16, 6.86], P = 0.02) and recessive model (AA vs. GG + GA, OR = 3.09, 95%CI [1.36, 7.03], P = 0.007). In addition, the MTHFD1-G1958A polymorphism was associated with the risk of CHD in racial subgroup, increasing the risk of CHD in Caucasians. In maternal analysis, 2 genetic models of MTHFD1-G1958A polymorphism increased the risk of CHD: the heterozygote model (GA vs. GG, OR = 1.22, 95%CI [1.04, 1.42], P = 0.01), and the dominance model (GA + AA vs. GG, OR = 1.17, 95%CI [1.01, 1.34], P = 0.03).
conclusionsThe fetal MTHFD1-G1958A (rs2236225) gene polymorphism increase their risk of TOF. The maternal MTHFD1-G1958A polymorphism has a strong correlation with the risk of CHD, and there are racial differences in this correlation. Compared with GG genotype, the GA genotype increases the risk of CHD.
